  Study of Strength of Composite Laminates with Ply- Discontinuities Using FEM

  By Tanmay Medhekar, Rajendra Kumar Gupta, Sunil Nimje

  Abstract: Present research work attempts to understand the effect of ply-discontinuities on the strength of the FRP Composite. Finite Element Analyses have been performed for specimen undergoing four-point bend loading condition using ABAQUS software. Three specimens consisting of different ply sequences, same resin pocket size and location have been considered for the present analysis. Cohesive zone modelling technique is implemented to simulate and predict crack propagation pattern during failure of composite …
